And the moment you allow for wrongs that far back, there's no reasonable stopping point. People of Norman descent in the UK have measurably greater wealth than those of Anglo Saxon descent. Should those of Anglo Saxon descent be able to get reparations from those of Norman descent because of William the Conqueror's invasion? And then what about the Welsh, can they get reparations from the Anglo Saxons? My own ancestry is primarily Scottish, French Canadian, and Irish, can I get triple reparations from the English?
